The Buffalo Bills have had some playoff heartbreaks. They were due for a break.
The Baltimore Ravens scored a touchdown with 1:33 to go and had a 2-point conversion set up perfectly for the tie. But tight end Mark Andrews had a stunning drop on a pass that hit him in the hands, it fell incomplete and the Bills moved on to the AFC championship game with a 27-25 win on Sunday night.
It wasn’t some great defensive play that won the game for the Bills. It was just a stroke of luck that Andrews, one of the NFL’s best tight ends, dropped a pass he almost always catches.
